Re: how to get icon from this dll by Tanmay On August 25, 2010
If you want to add icon in your form then you may directly add it or you can use resource where you can collect lots of icon.

So what is the purpose of this Dll??

If you write a stand alone program & want to save some file with your own extension, then you need some icon for that file (or extension). Then you reference this dll with icon number in registry & it show the icon on you file (or extension). That's it!

Thank you!
